In my humble opinion, this repress is far superior to the Basement pressing from a mastering perspective. The original is too bass heavy and muddy sounding (yes, it is possible to have too much bass as it turns out!).
Technicalities aside, this is an absolute Kev Bird / Jack Smooth monster. The main riff is so simple, but yet utterly unforgettable.

This is a Trip was the track that got the most air time, probably as it is pretty anthemic. The flip tracks are way more sophisticated 'jungle tekno' productions. Let's turn it Out gives us a sneak of the pad driven 'intelligent' / 'liquid' / 'atmospheric' dnb sound that was to emerge. Eloquence tells a different story: that dnb owes a lot to the mechanical angles of techno. I'm guessing this was a late '92 track. Sounds moved so quickly back in the early 90s, producers experimenting with their kit, every other track was a new vibe. You had to be there on the dance floor to experience what it was like to hear a killer fresh track. Sometimes the floor literally stood still, stunned because of a new sound. A golden age.
quality repress, sounds delightful.
but mine plays at 45rpm both sides - anyone else's?referencing This Is A Trip (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) BRSS 012
This was one of my favourite tunes in my record box in '92.
THIS IS A TRIP THIS IS NOT MUSIC ;-)referencing This Is A Trip (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) BRSS 012
When Kev returned from the studio with this EP I was once again over the moon with the tunes. Kev always knew exactly what buttons to press at the exact time capturing the sound of the Rave and nudging it forward at the same time.
'This is a Trip' was being battered across the UK within a couple of weeks of the Promos going out and reached Anthem status. Once again the two AA tracks got overlooked at first bar a few DJs. Once again when 'This is a Trip' started to fade away 'Let's Turn It Out' and 'Eloquence (my fave track on this ep) were getting a lot of play.

Love this track ! I love the way the percussion " skips " along in the intro , and indeed through the rest of the track . Though the ultimate old-skool high MUST be that break ! Those chords.. that BASS.. then that Jack " Basement " Smooth percussion again . Absolute bliss .
